🏃 Starting the bot

Haven't set up the bot yet? Check out Setting up the bot first!

Windows

  • To start the bot, double-click on start.bat in the bot's folder
  • To shut down the bot, close the console window
  • To restart the bot, close the console window and then double-click on start.bat again

Linux / macOS / Advanced on Windows

The following assumes basic knowledge about using command line tools.

  1. Before first start-up and after every update, run npm ci in the bot's folder
  2. Run npm start in the bot's folder to start the bot

Process managers

If you're using a process manager like PM2, the command to run is npm start. A PM2 process file, modmailbot-pm2.json, is included in the repository.
